Terry's annual telethon has started with him warning us that in these difficult financial times, it's the children that suffer most.
It's not of course.
It's the pubs.
So as it's Friday night, I'm heading out to do my bit.
Trouble is, it's always the same at this time of year, there's always some do-gooders coming round rattling those tins and buckets.
Tends to be a bit of a downer.
